Thanks to all who answered my query. I guess no one is related to my particular line. As far as the English connection goes tho, there still could be a connection. Family lore has it that the Talbot & Howard families both originated in England. Actually, I live in Wauwatosa which borders Brookfield. Thanks again, Larry Talbot in rainy Wisconsin PS......anybody know where Glanrahily is?  I assume somewhere around Tralee!
